Looking over the directions on how to complete the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment it sounded like another psychological analysis into our minds to track the way we think (Anderson, Clifton, & Schreiner, 2006). It reminded me of a test given by major companies to a candidate for an available position to see what made you tick or find out if you would steal from them or go postal on the whole company. But to my surprise I actually learned something about myself, things that came natural to me to the point of not really paying any attention to them. According to this assessment my top strength is Strategic which does make sense to me when I started to review the results printed out on my report.…
A behaviorist in psychology, named Julian Rotter was interested in where us humans place the responsibility of our choices outcomes whether it be good or bad. According, to Rotter there are two types of locus inner and external. The difference between the two is that if you believe that something’s outcomes have to do with your own behavior or has to do anything with your personality that’s considered inner locus. Where on the other hand, external locus is when you believe that the outcomes to something are due to destiny, blessings, or authoritative others. What Rotter proposed was that he can create a test which would test reliably would show if a person has the an inner or external locus alignment towards life.…
Despite having lived through multiple instances of physical, verbal, and sexual abuse; more than a decade of heavy substance use; gang violence; and long-term physical, mental, financial, and social instabilities, Brown has managed to turn her life toward success. In the following paragraphs, success will be defined as current, personal biopsychosocial-spiritual health and satisfaction occurring more often than distress. Brown’s successful adaptation and coping apart from her past pain and dangerous behavior can be hypothesized as due to her positive early childhood experiences, consistent familial supports, and internal locus of control.…
The total score is comprised of ten constructs. The adaptability construct assesses a person’s ability to negotiate difficult situations (e.g. “I am prepared for change”). The Connectedness construct measures information related to a person’s perceptions of belonging and acceptance in school, their family, and the community (e.g. “I am cared for and loved”). The conscientiousness scale measures a person’s concern over personal choices and assumption of responsibility for one’s actions (e.g. “I blame other people for my problems”). The Emotional Self-Regulation construct measures the inability to control one’s emotions (e.g. “I feel in control of my emotions”).…
Self Assessment Assignment I wasn’t that surprised as to what my results were when I took the FOCUS 2 tests. I know exactly what are my values, personality, skills, leisure time, and work interests. Yet, these little tests got the correct predicament of each of the five areas about myself. These different tests made me more aware of the choice most suitable to me individually.…
Others the results were right on target and the test described me very accurately. As I mentioned I am a reserved person that I select when I will allow myself to be the center of attention and be part of the spotlight. As a result, I have concluded that I am a very passive person where I tend to stay on the sidelines and observe what might be going on. I was shocked the type of profession would best suit me. All though I have chosen a very different profession.…
Locus of control is defined as the “ is the degree to which people believe that they have control over the outcome of events in their lives, as opposed to external forces beyond their control” (Wikiepedia, 2017, para 1). A person that has an internal locus of control has accepted in their own ability to control themselves, along with, the outcome they wish to achieve and see their future in their own hands. Whereas, a person with external locus of control, these people believe that they have no control over events and feel that the outcome is one of fate or luck, is controlled by others (Changing Minds, 2017). When looking at internal and external locus of control and the difference in the two, I would say that before beginning the nursing…

Communication skills are so important, not only in the workplace, but in life overall.…
In addition, I realized that I need to be able to make logical connections in order to learn in a way that promotes real understanding and long term memory. Furthermore, I discovered that setting goals and creating a plan that incorporates a checklist is profitable for me. When comparing the computer assessment and the self-assessment, the results were somewhat similar but after much self-examination and reflection, I believe the self-assessment is a more accurate representation of my working and learning styles. I believe that I strongly exhibit several of the traits in the excite dynamic group that I feel would classify me as deliberate rather than stress…
Introduction In 1988, Joyce Newman Giger and Dr. Ruth Davidhizar began developing their transcultural model when there were few cultural assessment tool available for health care providers. In Giger and Davidhizars transcultural assessment model, they address six cultural phenomena that help nurses care for patients in the best way possible. These include Biological variations, communication, space, environmental control, time, and social orientation. By taking these factors into consideration for every patient, nurses can achieve optimal outcomes when caring for patients.…

The first assessment has been scored by a peer of mine from the previous organization. The second assessment is from my supervisor from my previous experience. The third assessment has been completed by a team member of my Uconn project group. I have chosen these as the assessors of my behavior as I wanted to identify the trends in my behavior through different years and through different positions of responsibilities.…
In a short essay, list and discuss the three critical individual variables that would affect how individuals approach resolving an ethical dilemma (Interactionist Model). The three critical individual variables are ego strength, field dependence and locus of control. The following three were developed by Linda Trevino; she believed the ethical decision can explain by the interaction of individual and situational components.…
Being the only person with me 24/7 should be an indicator that I must know myself but actually don 't. It 's easy to study for tests, quizzes and exams but studying yourself is different. You can 't Google the answers and study from a sheet for it is within. Through completing the values assessment I rediscovered my expectations, influences and values. I also thought…
The analysis results from the various self-assessments have afforded me the opportunity to notice hidden aspects about myself. I have been able to perform contemplative and thorough self-examinations of my personality in order to determine viable methods to enrich my overall personality. It has been my experience that organizational behavior in many ways are similar to the institutionalized behaviors exhibited by those in orphanages or prisons. The similarities reside in the fact that the workplace is an environment where people from very different cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, ethnicities and religious beliefs find themselves compartmentalized into an environment, directed towards a new way of life and then ordered to play nice…
